I'm a big fan of Sol Bamba but he's past it now. Anyone who has seen Bamba play this year since his return from that dreadful injury will know he's nowhere near up to starting a game. The only times he's started are as part of a back 3, he'd be roasted if there are only 2 centre backs.
Last season he managed only 2 league appearances of any note, a second half subsitution at Sheffield Wednesday and he was hauled off at half time at QPR with us 3-0 down. He played every minute of our mini run in the FA cup, conceding 9 goals in 4 games, 5 to Carlisle. He was brought off again at Northampton with us being 3-0 down. We've conceded 2.5 goals per 90 minutes when he's played since his return from injury with over half of the goals being scored against us by lower division clubs.
Flint should be next in line and useful as a target man if we're chasing a game late on.
